My husband and I decided to bring my parents and sister for lunch. My mom had seen them on Instagram, so when she mentioned it to me I knew this was right up their alley. This location is the old pescador, the inside is basically the same. They do need to put better a cooling system. They had fans running but it was quite warm on a 90 degree day. Granted we were eating soupy food, haha. As for the food, we ordered several plates. Too much food tbh. Una surtida, 3 mixtas, 2 tacos con consume, 3 tortillas doradas con asientos y queso con cabeza. It was 5 of us and plenty of food. The tacos were well served at $6 each came with a small cup of consome, the tortillas con asientos con queso y cabeza was $11. Not bad either. That alone could be a whole meal, it's a pretty big size too, maybe a 7 inch tortilla. If you don't know what asientos are and if you've never had them, keep in mind that it's an acquired taste. It's the tiny bits that sit at the bottom of the pot. They aren't meaty, it's tiny bits, smaller than crumbs, and they been there during the whole cooking process so they will have a slightly toasty/nutty/burnt taste and they're greasy. That's just the nature of asientos. As for the surtida and mixta bowls, the meat was super tasty and tender. I liked the big tortillas they brought out, again, about 7 inches or so. Upon request they'll bring out more. They also have chiltipin chile pods on the table for you to crush up and add to your plate. We took 3 containers of food home. We just couldn't finish it. Service was smooth. Server came out a few times to check on us. Food came out fast. No complaints. Our total for 5 ppl was $188, which is a tad bit pricey but we enjoyed it and will be back. read more

My family is from Sinaloa and I had never had asiento. The crumbs, debris at the bottom of how they make carnitas and chicharron get converted into a delicious paste. It's a strong flavor but a light layer, adds a great touch of taste. Wait staff makes you feel like family, adding an extra touch to the interaction. The ambience is bustling a good sign of a restaurant that just opened and full- people are here for something good. Did try the tacos de cabeza, good healthy portion. read more

Nasty, the cleanliness, the pricing, the service... it smells outside!! They for sure dump their oil down the drains outside. I got a bottled water that costs 25 cents at Costco for $2!!! This place moved right in and made little to no structural updates. DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY HERE. Social media needs to stop blowing places up that don't deserve to be blown up. read more

Cabeza de res Taculichi - Sangria drink , taco cabeza/beef with broth - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Food 10/10 Every order of tacos you get comes with a consume. We came in early in the morning and Amairani who helped use was welcoming and told us what's on the menu . There's no physical menu we got when we came but that's ok food is delicious. This place is located in a shopping center where the pescador used to be. Love this place . Definitely will be coming back read more

Went in here because of tik tok. If you were raised on a farm where cow cheek and tounge is something you like, this place is the best! It's a caldo of tongue and you can add cheek and brain. You don't have to but the option is there. Hand made tortillas , fresh off the skillet! Salsas are perfect for the soup , and they don't slim it down with carrots or potatoes or anything ! All meat soup meat of your choice and simply DELICIOUS! They have a tostada with crumbs of left over pork and crunchies that is to dye for ! Tostada de asiento is what it's called and I loved it. Not the healthiest if your looking for healthy wrong place to go to. If you're looking for delicious and eres de rancho... you've come to the right place ! My favorite place in LA since I moved here 12 years ago and I barely discovered it ! Girls are nice and a man comes out and sells ámales de elote that are also out of this world ! I love it here is my opinion and here a little of what I enjoyed when I went .... read more

The food was amazing! The service could be better but what can you do. The ambiance was homey. I ordered to-go from inside the store and i was almost back on the freeway when i noticed they forgot a part of my order, i called back and mentioned they forgot something and she sounded irritated with me about the situation, after a bit she confirmed she did forget to pack it then said i can go back for it if i want. i drove from Valley Village and it was so worth it for the flavor but her attitude should be checked. it reminds me of my favorite spot in Tijuana except they're nicer. i will be coming back for food again. read more

Good service good food saw it on tik tok and it brought me back to my uncles weekend tacos de cabeza. Will definitely return. Just be prepared to sweat because the AC is non existent. read more

First time visiting this new restaurant off Atlantic & Tweedy. Anytime Bill Esperanza recommends a restaurant, you go! This place was amazing. Specializes in cabeza, lengua and sesos. The consome broth is light yet flavorful. The tostada is an absolute knockout. Especially when you drizzle some freshly ground chiltepin. Watch out for the regular coffee though. They bring you out a mug of hot water with a jar of instant Nescafé and powdered creamer. Ugh. I'll definitely be back. read more

There was a 15 minute wait but it was definitely worth it especially because it felt like a 5 minute wait! The host and waitress' are very very attentive! The food is delicious I had an Orden Mixta which is a savory and tasty consume packed with head and tongue which I topped with cilantro, onion, a lime, and some crushed chillipitin (red chilli balls) absolutely tasty and delicious! The tortillas are handmade and as big as the round plates! The quesadilla was one of my favorites as well I got mine with cabeza and applied some of the green and red salsa available on the table and to my liking they were very savory! The tortilla con asiento was probably a star dish on its own! You can get the this order crispy or semi crispy its your choice but you can't go wrong either way. I had a fabulous meal here very family friendly and the music on the speaker definitely ties the culture of this establishment with its delicious cuisine! I will be back hungry for more! read more
